Figures of Speech

Figures of Speech :

Figures of speech, as we have seen earlier, make the writing of prose or poetry pieces much more interesting. We have come across a few figures of speech earlier.

Simile : A figure of speech where two things are compared directly with ‘like’ or ‘as’.

For example :

Geeta was as swift as a cheetah on the racetrack.

Metaphor : A figure of speech where the comparison between two things is implied.

For example :

Be careful. This man is a snake in the grass. He will cheat you one day.

Alliteration : A figure of speech in which there is repetition of a sound more than twice in a line.

For example :

‘O Lord,’ the lonely lady lamented.

Hyperbole : A figure of speech where there is exaggeration.

For example :

I have told you a thousand times that you should not talk in class.
